The Eight Week Start

Eight weeks with the same three classes a week, the same small group, and the same coach. Long enough to feel different. Short enough to commit to. This is a beginning you keep going from, not a challenge you finish and stop.

$290 a fortnight, four payments

$1,160 in total, the same rate as our Connect membership. The assessments, the nutrition plan and the outside-studio programme are included rather than charged as extras.

Your eight weeks begin on the Monday after your assessment and end with the same assessment, so progress is measured, not felt. Four spots in every class, because a pod holds four.

    What the eight weeks includes

  • Three classes a week for eight weeks, in a locked pod of four
  • A full movement and fitness assessment before you start
  • The same assessment repeated at the end, so progress is measured, not felt
  • Body measurements at the start and the finish
  • A personalised nutrition plan built around how you actually eat
  • A training programme for the days you are not in the studio
  • The same coach and the same four people, every session
  • An end-of-block review and an honest next step, with no obligation to take it

Why Richmond Residents
Choose AK Fitness

AK Fitness Studio is at 354 Bridge Road, between the tram stops, ten minutes on foot from Richmond Station and a short ride from Victoria Gardens or the Yarra Trail. It is a coaching studio, not a gym floor: one coach, a small room, and never more than four people training at once.

The people who train here are mostly Richmond locals with a working week to fit around: professionals who have not trained in years, adults in their fifties and sixties who want to stay strong, people coming back after an injury, and a few who play sport and want to play it better. Amadu coaches every session himself.

Just moved to Richmond?

Two of the people who joined this year led with the same line: "I have just moved to Richmond, where do I start?" Start with the free first class or the free 45 minute consultation, whichever feels easier. A fixed class at a fixed time with the same four faces is also the quickest way a new suburb starts to feel like yours. See how small group training works in Richmond.

Common Questions

Personal Training in Richmond: FAQ

How much does a personal trainer in Richmond cost?
The studio runs four classes a week. Connect is $145 per week for any three of the four classes. Inspire is $180 per week for every class, as many as you like. Every class is capped at four people. Personal training is one to one and priced in your free consultation. All programmes run on fortnightly direct debit with 8 or 12-week commitments. See the full Pricing page on the main site for the timetable, class packs and add-ons.
Where in Richmond is the studio?
We are at 354 Bridge Road, Richmond, on the tram line and a ten minute walk from Richmond Station. Most Richmond clients walk, cycle or take the 48 or 75 tram.
What makes AK Fitness different from other trainers near Richmond?
Every session is coached by Amadu personally. Your program is periodised and progressive, not a template. Group sessions cap at 4 people. And we actually care about building strength that serves your life, not just your physique.
I have just moved to Richmond. Where do I start?
With one free class or the free 45 minute consultation, whichever feels easier. There is nothing to sign for either. If a fixed class at a fixed time suits you, small group training is the fastest way to settle into a routine in a new suburb: same time, same four people, same coach.
Do you run small group training in Richmond?
Yes. Four classes a week at the studio on Bridge Road, each capped at four people, coached by Amadu. Connect is any three of the four classes a week and Inspire is every class. Booking is open, so there is no waiting for a group to form. The full detail is on the small group training page.
Do you offer a free trial?
Yes. Every new client starts with a free 45-minute consultation including a movement assessment and goal-setting conversation. No obligation.
Do you offer corporate wellness in Richmond?
Yes. We deliver on-site corporate wellness for Melbourne businesses. Programs run from a single workshop to an annual partnership, in your office or at the studio, and every one is scoped and quoted face to face.
